Heavy burdens

Students can only be physically burdened by heavy school bags filled with textbooks, gadgets, and other materials instead of gaining knowledge from them. The problem of heavy school bags is not limited to Pakistan and is a challenge experienced by students worldwide. Carrying educational materials requires school bags, but focusing too much on them can take away from the main objectives of education.

According to some specialists, heavy school bags may not be the only cause of the growing back pain in students. Doctors warn that heavy school bags can lead to mental stress and physical issues in children. Instead of heavy school bags, a new educational system focused on technology should be introduced.
